Last week on Dancing with the Stars was frightful for American Idol star Jordin Sparks and her partner, Brandon Armstrong. The duo was sent home on Halloween night.
It’s ’90s night in the ballroom, baby! The relay dances are back, and we are being treated to some special musical performances. But two DWTS competitors will be sent home. The couple with the lowest combined viewers’ votes and judges’ scores will automatically be eliminated. Yikes!
So, break out your grungiest flannel and snuggle up with your collection of beanie babies as we head back to the 1990s. Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue performed during the opening number. Hosts Tyra Banks and Alfonso Ribeiro took a moment to remember Aaron Carter, who competed in Season 9 and to send condolences to his family. CNN reported that Aaron passed away on November 5, 2022.
Trevor Donovan and pro Emma Slater tied for first place last week. The duo performed a trick-filled salsa to “Barbie Girl” by Aqua. Judge Len Goodman called the routine “fun” and “terrific.” Carrie Ann Inaba called Trevor a bit “skippy” sometimes. The judges gave the couple 34/40.
Shangela and partner Gleb Savchenko performed a samba to the Spice Girls’ song “Spice Up Your Life.” The routine kicked off with Shangela performing with the DWTS version of the Spice Girls. Judge Derek Hough thought that the performance was “amazing” but called out Shangela for having some sloppy footwork. Carrie Ann called the performance “lit.” The duo scored 37/40.
Actor and comedian Wayne Brady and Witney Carson performed a funky salsa to Boyz II Men’s “Motownphilly.” I loved it! Carrie Ann called it his best dance so far. Len called it “top-notch.” The duo received 40/40.
Actor Daniel Durant and Britt Stewart performed a jazz number to “Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode. But first, Daniel discussed how he was abandoned by his birth mother and was adopted by his two mothers. He later reconnected with his birth mother before her death from cancer.
Halfway through the dance, the music cut out to show what it is like to dance as a deaf person. Carrie Ann called the dance “profound” and said it’s “an honor to watch you dance.” Derek was very emotional. Judge Bruno Tonioli told Daniel “that the world is proud of you.” The duo scored 39/40.
Heidi D’Amelio and pro Artem Chigvintsev were in the bottom two last week for the second time. Artem urged Heidi to show more of her emotions. Heidi is enjoying being part of the DWTS cast with her daughter, Charli D’Amelio.
The duo danced an emotional contemporary routine to the song “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette. Len felt that the dance didn’t suit Heidi’s outgoing personality. Derek felt the dance was “beautiful.” The judges gave the couple 35/40.
The Bachelorette star Gabby Windey’s partner Val Chmerkovskiy returned after battling Covid-19 last week. Gabby and Val performed a sexy samba to “Livin’ La Vida Loca” by Ricky Martin. Derek called it “the best samba ever.” Derek even removed his shirt. Bruno felt like he was “hit by a sex bomb.” This routine was amazing! The duo scored 40/40.
Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino and his partner Koko Iwasaki danced the tango to Haddaway’s “What Is Love.” Carrie Ann complimented Koko’s choreography, and was happy that Vinny showed his personality. Len was pleased to see Vinny dancing in hold. The judges gave the couple 29/40.
TikTok star Charli and Mark Ballas danced a fierce international tango to “Song 2” by Blur. Carrie Ann stood up and said, “If you were a painting, you are a Picasso.” Len praised Charli’s “maturity” as a dancer. The duo scored 40/40.
Alfonso joined the pros for a dance to MC Hammer’s “Can’t Touch This.” He still has the moves!
Each couple will dance against another DWTS competitor. One judge will award five bonus points to the couple that turns in the best performance.
These couples performed a cha-cha to “Ice Ice Baby” performed by Vanilla Ice. Len was the judge for this round. Shangela and Gleb won the five bonus points.
Both couples danced the samba to “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It)” performed by En Vogue. Carrie Ann was the judge for this round, and she awarded the five bonus points to Trevor and Emma.
These couples performed a samba to “Shoop” performed by Salt-N-Pepa. The judge for this round was Bruno. He gave five points to Wayne and Witney.
This match-up was a real nail-biter. The couples performed a salsa to “Ain’t Gonna Hurt Nobody” performed by Kid’ N Play. Derek judged this round and awarded the five bonus points to Mark and Charli.
Vinny and Koko are at the bottom of the leaderboard. Shangela and Gleb are in third place. Charli and Mark are tied for first place with Wayne and Witney.
The bottom three couples are Heidi and Artem, Trevor and Emma, and Vinny and Koko. The couple eliminated immediately was Heidi and Artem.
All four judges decide to save Emma and Trevor. That means Koko and Vinny are also headed home.
Next week is the semi-finals and another double elimination!

Total Bellas star Nikki Bella met the love of her life in an unlikely place. She was paired with Artem Chigvintsev on Season 25 of Dancing with the Stars. Nikki was engaged to John Cena at the time.
Artem and Nikki reconnected after her split from John and they went public with their romance in 2019. Artem tweeted that he popped the question to Nikki in France. “I love you more than anything and thank you for saying ‘Yes,’” he wrote.
In July 2020, Nikki and Artem welcomed their son, Matteo. They shared the exciting news on Instagram.
While fans were eager to see Nikki and the DWTS pro waltz down the aisle, their marital plans were delayed because of travel restrictions. Nikki was cautious about getting married again. “Once I had Matteo and I started to raise him, I was like, when I say, ‘I do,’ I want to make sure it’s forever,” she explained.
Artem and Nikki surprised everyone when they got married in Paris over the weekend of August 27, 2022. How romantic! Nikki announced the news on Instagram. She posted a photo of her and Artem’s hands showing off their wedding bling. Nikki also shared a photo of the couple facing away from the camera, looking at the scenic view. “We said I DO, can’t wait to share the entire journey with you all when our four-part special event series, Nikki Bella Says I Do, premieres on @eentertainment. #NikkiBellaSaysIDo.” Nikki wrote in the caption.
According to Page Six, Nikki told Brides all about her wedding dress decision-making. “People are going to think I’m crazy. I didn’t choose my ceremony dress until 30 minutes before I walked down the aisle,” Nikki remarked. “My poor mother!” That is down to the wire! Nikki selected four looks for her nuptials, and they will be revealed in Nikki Says I Do, a four-part E! wedding special that will premiere in 2023.
Nikki said, “The cool thing about being a bride is the fashion journey you get to go on. This is your time to shine and be a star.” She continued, “When it’s your wedding, it’s time to be fearless.”
Nikki used one dress that she purchased for her wedding to John. “I had two beautiful dresses that I loved, and they were going to be for a different marriage, but they were my dream and I love them,” she explained. “So, I brought them out to see if I could make them work.”
The newlywed continued, “What brides will realize when they start searching for the dress is that what you wear is about you as a woman. It has nothing to do with the person that you’re marrying or the people that are attending.” Nikki added, “It has everything to do with what you’ve envisioned for yourself and how you feel … I bought those dresses for me.” Yes, girl! I’m here for it!
Nikki had a vision for her bridal style. “Something I always wanted to bring into my bridal outfits was elegance. My Nana has a wall of family wedding photos in her house, and I would always go and look at my great grandmothers’ wedding dresses,” Nikki remarked. “There was just something so iconic and timeless about their gowns. I always knew that, on my wedding day, I wanted to wear something that would leave my grandkids staring at pictures of me thinking that they’d want to wear it at any age, too,” the Total Bellas star commented.
As for Artem, being married has changed his approach to being a DWTS pro. “It feels good to be married,” Artem stated. For Season 31, Artem is paired with Heidi D’Amelio, who stars on The D’Amelio Show.
